A member asked:
Can a person have a persistent change in mental status due to punctate lacunar infact?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite possibly: If you think that you are having mental changes then I think it is imperative that you consult with a neurologist at your first opportunity. One infarct may be the harbinger of another to follow,
